Abstract

The day of birth is considered as a sacred day relating to the marriage concept well-known as weton, and it is a hereditary heritage. Javanese believe that weton influences psychological aspects relating to social life. This study examines weton measurement that is conceived to take an action and a decision, including in the marriage aspect. This study employs qualitative description to elaborate the phenomena. In addition, this study utilizes ethnography to seek the social pattern in Kartasura, Central Java. The result shows that ancient people used weton as a fundamental aspect to decide their heir’s marriage, and the weton is related to philosophical values upholding family harmony. Therefore, weton becomes popular among Javanese to decide every aspect of life, including marriage.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the responses of Islamic Universities in Indonesia and Thailand to the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Islamic education learning. This comparative qualitative research collected data from in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of relevant documents at UIN Walisongo Semarang (Indonesia) and Darul Maarif Islamic College Patani (Thailand). The collected data were analyzed thematically using triangulation, member checking, and audit trail validation models. The findings of this study show similarities and differences; both institutions have not specifically incorporated AI into the formal curriculum as a course, only integrating it implicitly in the hidden curriculum such as research, workshops, and seminars. Indonesian Islamic universities view AI as an important tool for modernizing Islamic education, especially in distance learning and the digitalization of Qur'anic teaching. In contrast, although AI is not explicitly banned in Thailand, there are concerns about its impact on the role of traditional teachers and Islamic cultural values. Regarding ethics, Indonesian students are less likely to consider the potential bias of AI towards Islamic religious information. In contrast, Thai students are more wary of the impact of technology on their religious values. Mastery of AI technology also showed significant differences, with Indonesian students being more advanced.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to investigate Junggringan Kawruh Jiwa, a psychospiritual approach grounded in Javanese local wisdom, and its effects on the academic pressure faced by Vocational High School (SMK) students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Data for this study were collected using qualitative methods with a case study design. It included in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The study findings show that the use of knowledge on the edge of psychic is practical for students to use in managing academic anxiety in three main ways: (1) daily reflection rituals: students meditate and breathe, raising their own awareness while at the same time dispersing symptoms of stress; (2) context learning: students employ Javanese philosophical values such as memayu hayuning bawana and urip mung mampir ngombe as a framework to see academic pressure as a part of the inner maturation process; and (3) emotional mentoring from teachers who serve as surrogate parents provides students with psychological support and a place for them to express their emotions outright. Student respondents were generally positive about the program, showing increased openness, decreased anxiety, and increased self-belief, despite initial resistance. The contribution of this research lies in its complementing school guidance and counseling with a whole-school, local cultural approach. It likewise offers sustainable, context-based models of psychospiritual intervention for students from low-income family backgrounds.

Abstract

Adolescents from divorced or conflict-affected families in Indonesia often experience academic anxiety rooted in emotional instability and limited family support. This challenge is especially pronounced in Javanese cultural settings, where harmony, acceptance, and spiritual balance are central to well-being. However, research on school counselling in Indonesia remain largely generic, often neglecting these cultural and spiritual dimensions that shape students’ emotional resilience. To address this gap, the present study explores the Junggringan Kawruh Jiwo (JKJ) counselling method, a culturally grounded approach that integrates Islamic spirituality and Javanese indigenous values to support students from broken families in managing academic anxiety. JKJ combines Ki Ageng Suryomentaram’s concept of kawruh jiwa (self-awareness and emotional responsibility), Islamic spiritual practices (dhikr, prayer, and reflection on Qur’anic verses), and Javanese principles (nrimo, ngalah, sabar) into a holistic therapeutic framework. Six students (aged 16-18) from divorced or conflict-affected families and three experienced school counsellors, purposively recruited through school administrations based on their prior work with such students, participated from three vocational schools in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of reflective journals (February-April 2025). Credibility was enhanced through triangulation across data sources and validation via member checking and expert consultation in Javanese cultural and counselling traditions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and reflective journal analysis between February and April 2025. Credibility was enhanced through triangulation of data sources and verification of interpretations via member checking and expert consultation in Javanese culture and counselling practice. The findings reveal that JKJ counselling enabled students to recognise and regulate anxiety through reflective dialogue, spiritual practices, and culturally resonant exercises promoting acceptance and self-awareness. Counsellors’ empathetic engagement fostered emotional safety and trust. Collectively, these results indicate that JKJ represents a culturally responsive counselling framework with potential to enhance the psychological support available to adolescents from broken families in Indonesia.
